Comment 1

[esther]

Noticed there are new bits now, will try again.  Stay tuned!

Launch is successful after removing $HOME/.mozilla and automigrating a 4.x 
profile.
When I use ./netscape -profilemanager to test profiles I do not launch and 
appear to hang in Profile Manager- the console shows debug statements for 
ProfileManager- missing last end. Last line before hang is 
Move window by 575.5,431.5

cc: granrose.  

Grace or granrose - who should get this bug?  Do you know?

Comment 4

[Jon Granrose]

isn't profile manager typically selmer or one of his people?

Comment 5

[Grace Bush]

changing component and adding ben and selmer to  cc list to get ProfileManager 
attention

Comment 6

[esther]

Can't smoketest mailnews because with new profile (which is the only way I can 
get the product to launch) it doesn't complete a New Account setup for Mail 
(which is a different bug).

Do we see profilemanager window..? Going to check on my linux box.

Comment 8

[Peter Trudelle]

I don't see the PM, but didn't yesterday either.  Today though, I can't use the 
invisible PM, nor can I launch normally with -installer.

Comment 9

[Peter Trudelle]

And while it is running, it is sucking up about 40% of my CPU cycles.

[esther]

Updating happens on Win98 too, changing platform to all.  BTW...bug number for 
Account setup problem mentioned above is 34063

Comment 11

[racham]

I don't think this is a profile manager problem. Looks like GlobalWindowImpl or 
some other related component. Trying to trace where the problem is so that I 
can reassign this to the right owner.

I have seen the profile manager window on 30th's noon build on my linux box.

Comment 12

[esther]

Changing platform to All and removing "Linux" from summary.

Comment 13

[esther]

Happens with Mac too

Comment 14

[racham]

I just checked mozilla builds on akkana (around 10.30am) and eric's 
(early morning build) machines. Profile manager window comes up without any 
problems. Adding leaf to the cc list with a small suspicion of corrupted bits 
posted.

Reassigning to Ben and adding hyatt to the list as these problem looks coming 
more like front-end and they have been working on xul changes lately.

until the problem is identified and fixed...
one can use -profilewizard option to create a profile.
Also -P <profileNmae> to launch the browser.

*** Bug 34076 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 16

[Jon Granrose]

I need QA feedback.  Is that a viable workaround that makes this bug no longer a 
blocker?

Comment 17

[lchiang]

granrose - not for mail. See bug 34063 which occurs when we use the workaround. 
Alecf says the problem may be caused by the bug that's causing this particular 
bug report.  Pls check with alecf.

Using linux respin this is fixed (2000-03-31-15M15).  Waiting for Win build to 
test that platform.

Comment 19

[Peter Trudelle]

I haven't seen this on Win 98 in any build today, just the first verification
builds for Linux.

Comment 20

[esther]

OK on Mac now too.  Still waiting for win32 build to do final verification.  

Comment 21

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

I cant get anything to startup, I cant get a build just now. 

Comment 22

[Grace Bush]

I was able to see ProfileManager on one launch this morning have not been able 
to launch since-everytime my CPU is show 100% on Task Manager-have to kill. the 
process.

Comment 23

[Daniel (Leaf) Nunes]

Comment 24
